Ok, so Beast boss on squigosaur is not available yet so I'm gonna make one out of this toy dino I bought for £1.49

After some chopping with my fine saw I used blue tac to put the bits back together for an initial plan

Liberal amounts of green stuff for the initial assembly

A quick spray with bone white and i was disappointed with the visible joins and lack of skin texture.
So i have applied some kniffing putty and used scourer to try and imprint some texture

one more application of the kniffing putty, then another spray of bone white.
Followed by:- Contrast blood angels red, shyish purple, skeleton horde and Layer kislev flesh
this is obviously just my initial base of paint to build from.

This is as far as I got with this, for now, I will update when I have done more.

Comments and criticisms welcome

I really love the idea and the execution looks great

got to figure out how to get this Nob mounted.
initial leg repositioning with green stuff.
Nob on smasha squig and 1 xsquighog boyz for size reference

Oh that is good.

I love dollar store/pound shop conversions.

Soooo, my son just came up with a good idea.

left over robotic leg from Nob on smasha squig kit.

I think you've easily made a better looking squigasaur that GW at a fraction of the cost. Exactly what orks are about, making their own kits.

Great job on the conversion and paint job.

That’s a really fun conversion, there’s little chance of anyone recognising it as a triceratops!

Great job! I love DIY stuff like this.

firstly thanks for the positive feedback everyone.

update,
new leg is on
work on a spare Nob I had, as the rider has started
left over bits/ marine, from a Rhino I am converting to a looted trukk, has been put to use starting the base.

Almost done
